So I figured I'd start new since he told me the EXACT format he would like the files to be in. My friend wants to rename a dat file as he calls it. (message.dat?) He would like to rename them in this exact format: the word "mess", current date (2 character format) then the extension .html. So if he would run this today, the renamed file would be: mess020802.html Any ideas on this? He's really bugging me about it. :) Troy -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------Confidentiality--------------------------.
